Warm Slough, near Rexburg, Idaho, is a no-frills camping spot that offers a laid-back atmosphere right by the water. With plenty of space for tents and fire pits, it’s a solid choice for those looking to kick back and enjoy nature without breaking the bank.

The campground features picnic tables and fire rings, making it easy to gather around for meals or evening chats. Visitors have noted the peaceful vibe, with some even spotting a resident moose wandering nearby. One camper shared, “Each site has a fire ring and plenty of privacy,” which adds to the charm of this location.

If you’re into fishing or floating, you’re in luck—Warm Slough is right on Henry's Fork of the Snake River, perfect for a day on the water. Just a heads up, the pit toilets can be hit or miss, but the overall experience seems to make up for it. As one reviewer put it, “It’s a really nice place not far from town either,” making it a convenient escape.

While it might not have all the bells and whistles, the natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere make Warm Slough a great spot for a quick getaway or a longer stay. Whether you're passing through or planning a fishing trip, this campground has what you need to unwind and enjoy the great outdoors.

Tricky to Find but Worth It

This place was hard to find - I almost gave up. The GPS directions and coordinates on this app are both wrong. Take Warm Slough Rd off 4000 N. Ignore the no trespassing signs- they refer to the land on either side of the road. You can also search "Warm Slough Campground" in google maps. There is a smaller campground at the end of the road, and a larger one with pit toilets if you hang a right at the brown sign with the various camping rules.

Lots of options with fire rings and tables. Really nice and peaceful once you find it :-)

Good for the price($0)

As many free sites are it hasn’t been maintained or respected by those who use it. There’s trash all over and broken glass in the pit toilet. But there’s some picnic tables and fire pits and plenty of space.

Nice for a night

Pro tip: don’t try to find this location using Apple Maps. iOS will take you to the main road ands that’s it. Then you have to hunt for the dirt road that goes to Warm Slough. That road looks very much like private property. Google Maps will take straight to the actual site.

If you fish or want to float Henry’s Fork of the Snake River, this may be a good spot for multiple nights. It’s right on the water. Pretty. Multiple spots with fire pits, but well-spaced. We got the last spot on a Monday in Oct, but it didn’t feel crowded at all.

There are 2 pit toilets. The one at the front is truly disgusting. The one further in by the boat launch is clean, but no TP. Maybe Idaho Fish & Game consider October to be off-season and it would be better maintained in Summer.

We heard hunters close by, but they stopped by about 8:00pm. Otherwise, it was quiet and peaceful. The morning was beautiful - cold with mist coming off the river. For us, it was great for a one-night pit stop on a longer road trip.

Cool free spot

It’s nice and open, many campsites to choose from. There’s pit toilets, the main one is pretty dirty though. Overall it’s a really nice place not far from town either.

quiet and peaceful

We spent 2 nights here in between trips to Yellowstone and Tetons due to winter road closures. Great spot to hang out outside of Rexburg. Each site has a fire ring and plenty of privacy. Toilets are operating and clean. Right on the banks of the slough and there’s even a resident moose!

Good tent camping, good water access

Easily accessible. We camped in our tent, the roads were super easy to drive on. Great water access. Lots of wood for campfires. Yes cell phone service and it was free! Although the bathroom was very unclean.

My Go To

Can camp in tents, cars, or hammocks. Lots of spots near the rivers throughout the dirt road. Pretty popular for fire pits in the spring and summer. Can float the river as well. Sometimes see the occasional moose or dear.
